IBM pursues chips that behave like brains

The challenge in training a computer to behave like a human brain is technological and physiological, testing the limits of computer and brain science. But researchers from IBM Corp. say they've made a key step toward combining the two worlds.

But.. what happens to us when we can simulate a human brain on a single microchip? Do we end up losing our humanity? do we stop being born and instead are made? do we start stacking these microchips to create multiples of a brain? do we end up removing our own brain and replacing it with these chips?
